for me it's under the same roof! i like how it can be used to create a lot of funny situations and also allows you to observe how the characters' relationships develop more naturally :blushhappy:
honestly, i'm perfectly fine with both. i don't mind if the common route is longer as long as it has a nice plot and introduces the main characters well so i won't suffer when it's time to choose a route.

YEEESS TOTALLY 💯💯 i miss this feature so much in other karin games! the voice acting in their games is pretty insane it makes me want to save literally every voice line 😭
i make it a rule to finish the game once i start playing! because i quite often find myself in situations where i don't like a route/character or maybe the whole game at the beginning but in the middle i completely change my mind like "oh it wasn't as bad as i thought...". also i'm a...
